News Bloopers and Fails

Farting, yawning, not being at the right camera , sneezing, being caught swearing. It's all happened to them all! Use this thread to discuss and upload times things haven't gone right for news presenters and when they've been caught out.

Mike Bushell falling into the pool which I posted on a different thread always makes me smile:

One from Fox News this evening on The Five when Greg Gutfeld doesn't realise he's on-air.

Ben having a yawn!



And the notorious sticker incident.

Ben’s chuckle does it for me!

Charlene White caught unaware while on stand by:


Peston loses his earpiece while on camera:

Emily Maitlis must be the most relaxed, casual female presenter ever in the UK. She had many bloopers and funny moments over the years, when she was on News Channel, especially with Jon Sopel.

Speaking of Emily Maitlis, I know Hull isn't that great an area but it's not that bad!

Not very lady like, Victoria!

Peston must be unanimously known as Peston even at ITN, given that’s how Charlene refers to him (twice) during that earpiece clip above.

(rather than Robert Peston).
